Competent but Inconsistent Service

I consulted with Philip J. Gordon for an employment matter, and I found his legal expertise to be solid, particularly given his 30 years of experience and recognition in labor and employment law. He clearly understands the nuances of workplace disputes, which was evident in his initial assessment of my case. However, communication was occasionally inconsistent—I often had to follow up to get updates, and waits between responses were longer than I expected. While I appreciated his depth of knowledge, the case resolution took longer than anticipated, which added unnecessary stress. Overall, his competence was clear, but the process felt more drawn out than necessary.

I had the pleasure of working with Philip J. Gordon during a complex wrongful termination case. His 30 years of experience in employment law were evident in how he navigated my case with precision. He’s recognized for his expertise in labor and employment litigation, and that certainly showed in the outcome. The strategy he developed was both strong and compassionate, which gave me confidence throughout the process. While his legal fees were fair, I did wish for slightly quicker responses to follow-up questions. Overall, I’d highly recommend him to anyone facing employment disputes.

Competent but room for improvement

Mr. Gordon handled my wrongful termination case with a solid understanding of Massachusetts employment law, which was evident from his approach. His 30 years of experience and recognition in employment litigation were clearly reflected in the strategy he employed. However, communication could have been more consistent—there were times when I felt left in the dark about case developments, and follow-ups often took longer than expected. While the outcome was fair, I had hoped for more proactive updates and a clearer timeline from the beginning. His expertise was undeniable, but the process felt somewhat impersonal at times. Overall, a competent attorney who delivered results, but not without some frustrations along the way.

Expert Employment Lawyer with a Few Quirks

Philip J. Gordon is an exceptional employment lawyer with over 30 years of experience. I sought his counsel after facing wrongful termination at a major company in Boston, and his deep knowledge of labor and employment law was immediately apparent. He provided clear, strategic advice and helped me navigate a complex case with professionalism. Philip's recognition as a top attorney in employment law is well-deserved—his case preparation and negotiation skills are outstanding. However, I noticed that his response time to emails and calls could be a bit slower at times, and his fees, while justified, were higher than some other firms. Overall, his expertise and results were worth it. I highly recommend him for employment law matters, especially if you need a skilled litigator.
